« First Look at BlazBlue Portable for PSP »

Famitsu has once again scored new information on the forthcoming BlazBlue Portable, coming February 25th in Japan for the Sony PSP. No announcements have been made for release outside of Japan.

It appears as though the graphics have been scaled back slightly over its current generation brothers, but the game should still look quite gorgeous on the PSP's crisp display.  The backgrounds still look particularly nice as well, although we will have to wait and see if they still retain all of their animations and pre-fight transitions.

We all knew that Arc System Works would have to make some changes to the graphics to make it work on PSP.  What they are not compromising on are the game's modes or features.  All 12 of the fighters from BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger are present in BlazBlue Portable. This includes "Unlimited" versions of all 12 characters. The story mode and all of the other modes from the original are present in the portable version.

The big new mode in BlazBlue Portable is the Legion Mode.  In this mode players will face off against an enemy force in a series of one-on-one fights. If you win the battle, you can add one of the characters from the defeated army to your own, which can grow to up to 20 total characters.  As you progress and build up your army, you will eventually face off against Unlimited characters who act as bosses.

BlazBlue Portable features ad-hoc multiplayer with support for up to four players.  Two will watch the current match while waiting for their turn to battle.
